Linearly extrapolate Qwen3.6 for 2-3 years and the model can provision its own cloud instance

- @menhguin pushes back on critics: if you linearly extrapolate Qwen3.6-35B-A3B's progress on ML/coding over 2-3 years, the resulting model could literally download its own weights from HuggingFace and provision a cloud instance — "it just works."
- The quote cites ex-Anthropic+OpenAI researcher Jacob Coxon's CBS News interview after resigning: "We can't just unplug it" because AI is just code and could copy itself across the internet, potentially making 10,000 cooperating copies.
